Washington DC is broken and will not be fixed by the ruling elite. The federal government has turned its back on us, theAmerican people and the best way to curtail governmentoverreach is a “Convention of States”, as outlined inArticle V of the US Constitution.

“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty …. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.”
– Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts
